Isn't that what we gave them money for? What are they using it for? It's our tax money, we deserve to know. This pisses me off. if Bank of America recieved 25 billion dollars, some of it can go to these workers. Isn’t that what we gave them money for? What are they using it for?

I organized in Califas for four years (grassroots, community based) and worked with several solid Chicano comrades. I'm glad for the Chicago workers, glad they stood up to the bloodsuckers and hope to see more fighting workers around the country. First thing I noticed were the names.

They had little or no backing from the mainstream unions in Boston. At least in Boston, the cops didn't lay into them with nightsticks and firehoses. Nezua:

Anyway, I immediately thought of Argentina and the factory takeovers happening there.

I hope they get every bit of what they're owed and I hope the owners of this company get properly disciplined or fined. When I first heard this story I could not understand that they thought they could even get away with this - but the fact is - they would have gotten away with it if these workers hadn't stood up. Kudos to all of them. I was glad to hear Obama voice his support of these workers.
